INDIANAPOLIS – State Rep. Tim Brown, severely injured in a motorcycle crash last week in northern Michigan, remained in critical condition Tuesday in an Ann Arbor, Michigan, hospital, House Speaker Brian Bosma said Tuesday afternoon.

Through a spokeswoman, Bosma said that he’s been in regular contact with Brown’s family. He said Brown was in critical, but stable, condition and that the Crawfordsville Republican’s family said the he “has made positive progress since the accident.”

Brown – who has represented District 41, including portions of Tippecanoe County, since he was first elected in 1994 – was traveling with state Rep. Mike Speedy, an Indianapolis Republican, near Mackinac Island the morning of Sept. 12, when an SUV pulled into their path and struck Brown's motorcycle on U.S. 2, according to Michigan State Police.

Brown, 62, was initially transported to the Mackinac Straight Health System in St. Ignance, Michigan. He was later transferred to a downstate medical center for further treatment, police said. Brown was wearing a helmet at the time of accident. Speedy, able to avoid the SUV, wasn’t injured.

Last week, Speedy told the Indianapolis Business Journal that Brown was in an induced coma. It wasn't immediately clear Tuesday whether that was still the case.

Brown’s district includes southern portions of Tippecanoe County. He is among the highest ranking members of the Indiana House and is one of the state’s budget architects as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

Brown is a retired emergency room doctor, who worked at Franciscan Health Crawfordsville.
